Re: Movie tie-in book covers

I cannot stand movie tie in covers! I never buy them. In my opinion, they make all my favorite books-turned-movies look commercialized and less special. I'm thinking of The Hunger Games, specifically. 

I had developed images of the characters LONG before Lionsgate bought the rights. I also don't like seeing the faces of the Hollywood-deemed characters on the covers because those actors/actresses often represent other movies to me. In the example of The Hunger Games, Jennifer Lawrence now reminds me of many other movies besides The Hunger Games.

I've never seen it done successfully, but I'm interested to know if anybody else has. When I think of movie tie in covers, I think of tweens.
